Florence - Crooked Still

Still Crooked

王朔谈女儿:我干嘛不对她宽容?我干嘛要对她严厉?我希望她干嘛呀?我什么都不希望她。我希望她快快乐乐过完一生,我不要她成功。我最恨这词儿了。什么成功,不就挣点钱,被SB们知道吗?

这首“Florence”选自Crooked Still的专辑《Crooked Still》,这歌的前奏让我想起了“祝你一路顺风”。
Crooked Still,自称为“另类兰草风格”( alternative bluegrass band )的一个年轻组合。2004年在美国波士顿成立,现有成员5名。主唱Aoife O'Donovan,班卓琴演奏Dr. Gregory Liszt,贝斯手Corey DiMario,大提琴手Tristan Clarridge 和小提琴手Brittany Haas。前成员大提琴手Rushad Eggleston。
抛弃了吉他贝斯鼓,还能叫乡村吗?以提琴为基调,时常点缀着班卓的繁复段落,Crooked Still就是这样一支非典型女声乡村乐队,嫁接出来的音乐风格不一定都合适,不过这次提琴加班卓的味道还是相当优秀的。
和传统的兰草民谣相比,Crooked Still的音乐更精致人文,特别是器乐的演奏非常棒,音乐素质确实功底不凡。舒缓的大提琴,温柔的女声,一丝甜意流淌到心中,难得有这种抒情的乐曲让人安静下来。(网络整理)

歌词:
Not many years their rounds shall roll
Each moment brings it nigh
And all your glories stand revealed
To our admiring eye
You wills of nature speed your course,
You mortal powers decay
Fast as you bring the night of death
You bring eternal day

You weary heavy-laden souls
Who are oppressed sore
You travelers through the wilderness
To Canaan's peaceful shore
Through beating winds and chilly rains,
And waters deep and cold
And enemies surrounding you
Have courage and be bold

The storms and hurricanes arise
The desert all around
And fiery serpent soft appear
Through the enchanted ground
Dark night and clouds and gloomy fear
And dragons often roar
But when the gospel trump we hear
We'll press for Canaan's shore
